Four months of wood aging for the Luigi Bosca Gewurztraminer Granos Nobles

Mendoza is the wine capital of Argentina, nestled at the foot of the impressive Andes Mountains. South of the city lies Lujan de Cujo, where Leoncio Arizu founded the Luigi Bosca winery in 1901. Various high-quality wine styles are produced here. Today, the winery is a leading player in the global fine wine segment. The grapes for this special dessert wine come from the Fina El Paraiso vineyards in the Maipu district of Mendoza. The vineyard is situated at an altitude of 780 meters above sea level, and the vines are around 50 years old. This altitude creates a unique microclimate. Due to the proximity of the Andes, the nights are very cool, while the daytime temperatures are very high. The grapes are harvested by hand at optimum ripeness. The bunches are destemmed, and the best grapes are then selected. After pressing, vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks at sixteen degrees Celsius. Upon reaching the desired alcohol content, fermentation is stopped by back-cooling, leaving a natural residual sugar. After aging on the lees for four months, the wine is filtered and bottled.
